Blog Blast for Peace

Our human dad is an officer in the Canadian Forces. As such, he has participated in many different missions around the world, including serving in Kuwait during the first Gulf War, peacekeeping missions in Haiti, Bosnia, and Eritrea, and domestic operations such as the Winnipeg Floods in 1997. We are very proud of him and the work that he does, along with all the other members of the Canadian Forces, and all the other men and women who serve throughout the world.

Even though we are very proud of our dad and all that he does, we do wish that the conflicts throughout the world would end, and that all the men and women serving overseas could return to their families.

We pray daily for all the men and women who are deployed, and fervently hope that they come home safely to their families.

You wrote a wonderful post, Dragonheart and Merlin. I also wish that everyone deployed could come home to their families and that there would be no more need for demining operations. Many thanks to your Dad for all the good work he has done.

Peace to you and yours Dragonheart and Merlin. I think it is important to remind us of all the GOOD that our troops can do, when deployed wisely. I believe that is the worst of unjust wars--soldiers bear the burden of poor choices by those in power, not just in the war they fight but in perception of who they are.

I thank you dad for all he does in the Canadian Forces to make lives better in Afghanistan. It is a thankless job that often goes unnoticed. You're right. The war gets reported but the good being done by the soldiers is not so much.

Time to say thank you.And also for blogging for peace in our world today.

A big thank you to your Dad and all the other brave people and their families for making such sacrifices to ensure we live in a more peaceful world. My Mum and I also hope and pray that all the conflicts around the world would end and we could truly have a peaceful world.

So often, when troops are involved in situations like Iraq, the focus is on the killing and destroying that goes on. Yet, there are humanitarian efforts that take place on a daily basis...some official, some not. Thanks for reminding us that being in uniform in a foreign country is not necessarily a bad thing.
